In these years of celebrity culture, being the son of a star means starting already favored: the basic requirements to be attractive and famous– being attractive, famous and most of all well-dressed – are already satisfied. But can they stand comparison? Here are, in our opinion, the most stylish ones

Rumer Willis The eldest of the three daughters of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis (the other two, as far as names are concerned, weren’t luckier: they are called Tallulah and Scout) has been attempting to make her way into Hollywood for long, yet, apart from a few small roles and many red carpet appearances, she hasn’t got too far. Maybe her mother’s long shadow is to blame: at almost 50, and with the help of a few strategic retouches, she is still one of the most attractive ladies of the cinema industry.

Chet Haze For a start, he’s called Chester, poor thing, a bit of a loser name; plus he’s white and comes from a rich family (he's the son of Tom Hanks), and he’s not even a misfit tramp like Eminem. Everybody knows that in hip hop street-cred is everything (see Club Dogo): the risk of becoming the new Vanilla Ice is rather high. His track? Neglectable.

Montana Fishburne The majority of wannabe actresses who end up in the porn industry blame fate. This is not the case of Montana Fishburne, the daughter of better-known Laurence, whose vocation is porn, full stop. She decided to make her debut exactly in that sector, with her first and last name, much to her dad’s disappointment. She was reportedly spotted in a rehab center after assaulting his ex: despite being a rich girl, she could give a lesson or two to poor Chet on how to be a real tramp.

Alyson Le Borges She definitely hit the jackpot at the gene lottery: the daughter of Anthony Delon and a Crazy Horse dancer, she looks impressively alike to her grandfather, as if the result of a cloning experiment. Stunning, and also determined to make it all by herself, at least until recently, when she posed for Vanity Fair Italy and used the name of her illustrious ancestor. For the time being, her main occupation is looking radiant in pictures, something she does quite naturally.

Joe Hill You father is one of the most celebrated and best-selling writers of our time, a master who has redefined the horror genre. So you want to be a writer, too. What do you do? You a) send your manuscripts around introducing yourself as “Stephen King’s son”, knowing that you will get published anyway, regardless of the quality of your writing; b) send your manuscripts around using your other name in place of the last name, and wait for a response from the publishers and the readers. This is what Joe Hill King chose to do. And at least we owe him some respect for that.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s childrenJaden is starring in the remake of Karate Kid and appeared alongside his father in The Pursuit of Happiness; Willow whips the air with her variable-length extensions and has lots of fun acting the nine-year-old popstar. The petite yet resolute figure of their mum hovers in the air. And what about Will’s oldest son, Trey? As of recent, unreported.

Emma Roberts The daughter of Eric and the niece of Julia, she might have not reached the goal of a superstar role but has already built a respectful career. Since becoming the star of the Unfabulous series (broadcast by teen channel Nickelodeon) we have found out she can also sing and play: the channel is ready to launch her on the record market. In the meantime, she has shown a real talent for sure: a natural elegance enabling her to wear anything well. As for the rest, we’ll see.

Gia Coppola Sofia is her aunt, Francis Ford her grandfather: Gia Coppola wants to be a photographer and a filmmaker. So far she had an exhibition and has realized a few videos, and has received that kind of attention that any other young photographer would dream of. We are giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Peaches & Pixie Geldof Their father has been mockingly renamed Saint Bob due to his untiring devotion to the cause of world famine. The two daughters, especially Peaches, don’t seem to have inherited much of their father’s heroic s nature. Spoilt and ever-present, they got themselves noticed mainly as models (Pixie) and trouble-makers (Peaches). And if you think their bizarre monikers are to blame, just think that the other two sisters are called respectively Fifi Trixibelle and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. The latter, the daughter of the Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates (the mother of the other three girls) who both passed away, was adopted by Bob when her mother died; she never appears in the media probably because no one knows how to spell her name right.

Amber Le Bon The daughter of Eighties’ legend Simon and his eternally beautiful wife Yasmine, Amber has inherited her mother’s radiance. And, just like her mother, she wants to be a model. The basic requirements are all there; we still have to see is the girl’s got talent: you need that also to be a model.

Frances Bean Cobain The daughterof Kurt ‘n’ Courtney has come of age and, in consideration of her personal situation, she is endowed with an uncommon emotional balance. She lives by herself in New York and she is an artist: her works are obscure and a tad disquieting .

Georgia May Jagger A perfect hybrid of her mother’s Texan blondeness nd her father’s rough sensuality, Georgia May is a model. And she’s already causing a sensation.

Miley Come on, isn’t she famous in her own right? You’ll say. Not at all: Miley is Miley because her father Billy Ray was famous (and still is) before her. A rather popular country singer, he had at least an international hit, Achy Breaky Heart. So far, Miley has shown she has real talent and determination independently: it remains to be seen whether she will succeed in leaving behind all those years as tween idol Hannah Montana.

Zak Starkey His father’s name is Richard, but people call him Ringo Starr. Keith Moon of the Who taught him the drums and he has been humbly working as a session musician and playing the drums for several bands, not all of them very famous. More than a celebrity offspring, he seems a skilled performer and a hard worker.

Kelly Osbourne The daughter of Ozzy. She used to be fat. A former unbearable teen. A former singer. The former girlfriend of model Luke Worrall, with whom she went through a very bitter break-up (hence the slimming). Kelly, now, is here to stay: we still don’t get what she does and why, but we can’t really not like her. Besides, compared to brother Jack, she sounds like Rita Levi Montalcini.

Rainey Qualley The daughters of very beautiful women are very rarely more beautiful than their mothers. Jane Birkin had two with peculiar looks but not at all as a beautiful as she was when young; Andie McDowell had two, both stunning, as a result of the fortunate encounter with husband Paul Qualley’s gene pool. Of the two, the eldest, Rainey, is so beautiful that we are not in the least interested if she can do something well, or not.
